Many people enjoy shopping in the afternoon on a holiday.
Only a camera is shooting the sight as if carrying out its purpose.
In the result,time is cut and ticked apart.

Pictures watched in "kaizer panorama" don't have the notion of the
beginning and the ending as they are represented in cycles.
In the meantime once cinema starts, it certainly must end.
Since it has the property that changes eyes itself, space changes.
In this movie, deformation doesn't mean drawing but is kept as the sign
of the motion.
